Riding tours

The Icelandic horse is a small, strong, friendly, willing, docile animal which rarely gives riders any kind of trouble. It has two special gaits, the tölt (running walk) and the flying pace. Riding is a unique opportunity to experience the Icelandic landscape, culture and history and to discover Icelandic mentality.
We offer a number of tours for beginners and experienced riders.
